This is a story of when I'm of the bike doing random things for fun. Each day that passes by, I did something super randomly just for the fun thats when I'm not on the bike going up a climb or on a downhill (thats what Robertson has to offer for cyclists such as me.) Robertson is known for the words "A small town with a big heart.) For me its all about having fun when the days arrive when I don't really feel like head out and train. While I sit with a couple of crazy friends who really are fun to hangout with, such as David De Backer who is my ABSA Cape Epic partner, he started a thing called "TDH" for those who don't exactly know what I'm talking about.. they take a GO PRO camera and film where they go downhills on tricycles. Now thats one funny/random thing to do. So while I checked the films they took, I decided well maybe I should do it myself although I need to buy myself a tricycle in order to do it. I arrived at a food store named Shoprite and well there was two tricycles up on the shelf (one in plasic and other one not in plasic) so I took one off and decided to sit on it and well yes there was other people standing there to pay for the things they bought and everything came to a stand still when I was sitting on it. Felt like I was the Queen who rule the world haha.
While I love track cycling, I decided to take my family on a Tour in the Bellville Velodrome to show them around on how it looks inside etc, I found myself in the middle of the track walking around on the slippery part, while I was standing there, the track was covered in bird poop so I found a cleaner place and actually kissed the track. Wanted to leave something behind for fun. While I was on a camp in January, I clearly didn't know what I'm getting myself in to, there wasn't really time to get some rest and on the last night of our camp, we had a war where its a battle (guys vs girls) and it was going on in the middle of the night and all you hear are screaming and my cabin mates was rushing in just to protect themselves. You couldn't even go to the bathroom as guys where hidding there with water balloons etc. I wasn't prepared to be thrown by some sour milk or eggs that time of the morning so I just sat and listen to the stories of others what was going on outside.
While me and my friend Callen Watson made a promise on throwing each other with eggs, its super crazy to throw each other with 21 eggs or 18 eggs. I'm not scared at all in fact I will need a good shower afterwards. That shows exactly how crazy I can be when I feel like it. While I'm on the bike, I can crash without breaking a bone, till today the most serious injury is hurting my ankle ligaments. Don't ask me how I get it right but I ask myself the same question. I always got time on my hands to do crazy things and I actually enjoy it. One day while traveling in Cape Town, I rode in a taxi to the Cape Argus Expo, now to be squashed and hold on for your dear life on your belongings is one of a story and the music they are playing is.. very strange. When people stands next to the sidewalks, the taxi driver thinks you actually need a lift so they will whistle as loud as they can. That was honestly the most random thing ever and thats to find yourself in a taxi. When me and family traveled back with a other small taxi, we were impressed to see no one was in the taxi, no one! We wasn't too impressed when it makes the strangest noises coming from under the taxi. That was serioulsy scary stuff and we were relieved when we arrived safely back to our destination.
Well thats all for now.
Till next time!
